HOW 3-D PRINTING WILL RADICALLY

CHANGE THE WORLD
If you are not excited by 3-D printing its
because youre not thinking big enough,
say some technology visionaries who
predict that life on Earth will soon
radically change because of it.
According to these futurists, 3-D
printing will make life as we know it
today barely recognizable in 50 to 75
years.
Realistically, were going to be living to
100110. With bio-printed organs,
living to 110 wont be anything like living
to that age today, contends Jack
Uldrich, a technology trend expert.
Were already printing skin, kidneys, a
replica of a beating human heart. If a
person looses a limb, well be able to
print, layer by layer, a replacement. Its
theoretically possible.
Uldrich says companies will soon be
able
to
manufacture
goods
domestically, with virtually no wasted
materials and no need for international
outsourcing.
If we can print a shoe here, we dont
have to go to China or Indonesia, he
says. Uldrich also predicts the demise
of the construction and agriculture
industries, which he says will make
many traditional methods of building
and food production obsolete.
